Her complex oeuvre--always ahead of its time, and profoundly formative for younger generations of artists--has employed photography (for which she is best known), fabric, text, audio, digital images, installation and video. Writing in the \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e, Holland Cotter succinctly described Weems as \"a superb image maker and a moral force, focused and irrepressible.\"\u003cbr\u003eThis volume, spanning four decades of work, is the most thorough survey yet published. It includes Weems' earliest series, such as \u003ci\u003eFamily Pictures and Stories\u003c\/i\u003e, for which she photographed her relatives and close friends; the legendary \u003ci\u003eKitchen Table Series\u003c\/i\u003e, in which she posed in a domestic setting; and other critically acclaimed works and series such as \u003ci\u003eAin't Jokin'\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eColored People\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eFrom Here I Saw What Happened and I Cried\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eNot Manet's Type\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Jefferson Suite\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eMonuments\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eRoaming\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eMuseums\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eConstructing History (A Class Ponders the Future)\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eSlow Fade to Black\u003c\/i\u003e and the \u003ci\u003eObama Project\u003c\/i\u003e, among many others. Contextualizing these pieces are essays by LaCharles Ward and Fred Moten and a chronology by Raul Muz. The book also includes a visual essay by Weems that presents a personal selection of her own works from the artist's perspective.
